Scottish person who lived in Scotland for 20+ years here :) Drinking water alongside whisky, or adding a few drops to whisky was very commonly seen, both in bars, and at home. As you'd expect there are often wee taps on the bar for that purpose, or small jugs of water served alongside. My comment was really relating to adding ice in particular, and I have to say I've only ever seen that done extremely rarely. Of course anecdotes aren't data, and people have their own specific preferences - I'd certainly not suggest it is "wrong" to have ice, but I would say it is unusual (and more a thing I associate with Americans).
